It is already a great player compared to most but when you utilize all these features it is on a whole other level to other software. memory tweaks, CPU tweaks, disabling services automatically, dramatically reducing background OS tasks, completely shutting down GUI during playing.

Now thats the just the player, XXHE comes with a plethora of features that tweak your PC to sound better. There are tons of settings to mess with, it can be very confusing but isnt something to worry about, once you get more comfortable you can start experimenting and get some further slight improvements to SQ. so it can feel lacking in clarity or crispness but actual detail and timbre is the best youll get. I do find it sounds oddly veiled sometimes but its the complete opposite to other players that all have some degree of glare/harshness. XXHE is the endgame for music players if SQ is top priority.įirstly, the base player itself is superb in terms of resolution.

What would be the best sounding audio player for Windows 10 or Linux (probably Elementary or Mint) I've seen Foobar2000 and Audirvana mentioned. However, there might be players around than Winamp that might meet my requirements.

I could use some VPC software and use a Windows XP VPC to install Winamp so I know there will be ways round it. I know Winamp won't work on Windows10 (although a new version might be coming out), and I don't think there is a Linux version. I did try Windows Media Player and iTunes but these never came close to the quality of the sound that came out of Winamp. I've never heard music sound better anywhere else.

I have always used Winamp set to full treble and bass and the set up sounded absolutely amazing. My mp3s are all gained down a bit so they don't clip. It's not got to sound like a violin is in the room with me, it's just got to blast out some thrilling dance stuff that doesn't distort. It needs a good, clear thud to the base, lots of clear treble, pleasant vocals.

I mainly play pop and dance music mp3s - so nothing too high brow.

Over the last 13 years I have used the optical out from the motherboard to connect to my Denon AV amp that has 5 channel stereo (uses the centre and rear speakers - plus it has A and B front speakers). I'm putting together a new media PC - the one I built back in 2005 has finally given out. I hope it's OK to resurrect an old thread. It was fine and better than most full computer solutions, but the microRendu is in a completely different league and is more intuitive & less buggy in terms of user interface(especially for visitors) and more reliable without library indexing issues, crashes, etc.

I used Mac, A+ in standalone integer mode for years and tested the others mentioned. Lastly, in my firsthand experience, everything suggested by bettered by a mile with the NAS & microRendu and at a lower cost. Ask Jesus telling him about your specific DAC.

For a handful of exotic DACs these issues have already been conquered thanks to other buyers, but most of the time it isn't an issue at all. Anything that has a standard RJ45 ethernet output and you will be in business.Īs far as DAC, most are not a problem, and regarding special drivers, you can post on the Sonore Forum on computeraudiophile and Jesus from Sonore( who posts there daily) will address the issue, even working with the manufacturers if they need to write a special compatible driver. Other options include wifi receivers that have ethernet outputs and many brand new routers that come as 3 or more pieces to "spread your router" and wifi signal more evenly thru the house. If not, you can use adapters that plug into AC outlets in both rooms and send the signal from router to audio room where you'd plug a an ethernet cable from the plugged in adapter to the microRendu. If you can run a long CAT ethernet cable into the listening that is ideal. Good that your NAS isn't in the same room as your audio system that's the best place for it.
